Periodontal Disease Is Tough To Fight Alone

Posted by

periodontal disease sheridan wyYour smile is there for you, and you need to be there for it. When you start to notice redness or swelling along your gumline, it’s worth telling your dentist about it, because this could be a sign that bacterial buildup has started. It’s an important thing to bring up, too, because periodontal disease is consistently ranked number one in the list of ways that adult Americans lose teeth. So, if there’s something you want to talk about, let’s do it at your next biannual checkup.

With Dr. Justin Coon and Dr. Cody Coon at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, you’ve got someone looking out for your oral health. We understand the importance of having a strong, vigorous set of gums, and we work with people to help them get there after bacterial buildup affects their smile. Without your gums, your teeth would have a tough time staying where they are, so make sure that you’re doing what you can to keep up with them.

Brushing and flossing sometimes aren’t enough. Find out more about fighting back against periodontal disease with Grinnell Street Dental.

Keep A Cleaner Smile For Your Safety

Posted by

Keep a Cleaner Smile sheridan wyA healthy smile depends on a few things to avoid deterioration, and a big part of your efforts is keeping yours clean. You see, bacteria are always trying to cause problems within your mouth, leaving behind a harmful biofilm called plaque. This is what you brush off of your teeth twice each and every day; if it remains for a while, though, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus. At this point, you can no longer safely remove it on your own, and you need a trained dental hygienist to do it for you.

If you’re ready for a fresher set of teeth, tell Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY about it. Our office is built to help people protect their smiles through effective dentistry, and we know that that starts with your efforts at home. But even with dedicated brushing and flossing, you still need to see your dentist at least twice each year for a thorough cleaning and a visual examination. So, when you find that it has bn longer than six months since your last biannual dental checkup, call our office to schedule your next one.

Bacterial buildup causes major smile problems. Set up a time to talk about your oral health with Grinnell Street Dental.

A Quicker Path To Restoration

Posted by

restoration sheridan wyWhen you break a tooth, you can let in some harmful little microorganisms. You see, bacteria are always trying to make your mouth their home, and a broken tooth is an open invitation. Normally, your enamel provides a barrier that blocks out bacterial infection, but it can be lost through injury, tooth decay, and more. And if that’s happened to you, then you are ready to call your dentist and talk about your path forward.

Your smile is there for you every day, until it isn’t. Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, we work with people when that happens, through effective restoration and CEREC milling. CEREC helps us to create quality, custom dental restorations right here in the office, rather than having to send out for a specialized ceramicist. That means that our patients can experience a quicker path to restoration. And if you’ve been thinking about dental implant placement, let’s talk about that, too. Schedule your next visit, and let’s make a plan to meet your smile goals.

A broken tooth is not something to ignore. If that’s happened to you, call Grinnell Street Dental to set up a time to talk teeth.
